Schools for Sierra Leone

Projects

We want to provide education to children and youth in western Sierra Leone. Our goal is to build at least one primary school per year and a secondary school (from grade 7) every five years.At the same time we take care of these three areas:

That’s why we have been involved in the medical sector since the severe Ebola epidemic in 2014/2015.Visit the clinic …
